It is the intention of Eagle School to provide a healthy environment for learning for each student. Proper dress code has been shown to improve the learning environment for students and help them focus on who they are rather than what they wear. The dress code for ES will convey a positive attitude and image of the school, the family, and the individual student. Each parent is to be certain that their child conforms to the dress standards established by the school.

Each child should come to school with a clean and neat appearance. Alterations of the specified clothing is not permitted. Competition between students in regard to clothing should be discouraged. If the clothing becomes torn or if holes occur in the clothing, it is to be properly mended before the child wears the clothing again. Coats may not be worn inside the building during normal school hours. Wearing the specified cardigan sweater should compensate for any child who is not warm enough. Students must arrive and depart from school in their school uniforms. The only reason students are allowed to change into other apparel is for official school functions.

Field Trips: Girls may wear “Girls Pleated Pants” purchased thru the school uniform service, with specified uniform top. Boys will remain in school uniform.

Home & Away Athletic Events: Girls and boys may change into other clothing; however, it must be modest and conservative in fashion. The specified time to change will be determined the day of the event.

Any item found in the hall areas will be placed in the lost and found. Items such as jewelry, eyeglasses, wallets, or purses will be taken to the office. Once in the lost and found, ES takes no responsibility for items. Items not claimed at the end of each quarter will be given to charity.

We will close school when the public school in the Richland School District closes. In all cases, use your best judgment in deciding whether or not to bring your child to school.

Students are asked not to use the school telephone during school hours except in cases of emergency. NO PERSONAL CALLS ARE ALLOWED on any school telephone. A phone is provided for emergency use until 4:00 p.m. Calls on this phone must be limited to 30 seconds. An emergency is determined by the school secretary or the administrator.

Re-enrollment applications will be sent home in the spring for the following school year. Parents who are re-enrolling their child must submit a re-enrollment application and an initial deposit no later than June 15^{th to reserve a place for their child.}

Eagle School will record and report the performance of the students to the parents on a consistent and timely basis. Records on each student will be kept based on the percentage of total points possible in each course. Tests, quizzes, projects, daily assignments, and class participation will be used to evaluate each student’s performance. Should an ES teacher decide to convert this percentage to a letter grade, a fixed scale is used:

A 95-100

B 90-94

C 80-89

D 70-79

F 69 or below

 

Parents will receive a written report card of their child’s performance four times a year. Both academic and behavioral progress will be reported to the parents. These reports will allow the parents to speak encouragement and correction into the life of their child on a regular basis.

The records of the students are open to the inspection of the parents at any time. Transfers of student records to another school will be made at the parent’s written request provided that the student’s tuition has been paid up to date.

Colossians 3:23 states, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” Eagle School will encourage each student to work to the best of his or her ability and not just to get a certain score in class. The staff of Eagle School will work through instructing and modeling to instill this important truth in the students. We encourage the parents to model this as well.

We would appreciate your cooperation in helping us comply with the health and safety requirements for the school. We hold your child in prayer for God’s protection throughout the school year.

At the time of registration, the following documents are required:

Child Health form, which includes:

Immunization records

Authorization for emergency medical care form.

 

 

 

PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION

 

Any time a student is required to take prescription medication at school, it is to be reported to the student’s teacher in writing. If teacher assistance is requested in the administration of the medication, specific instructions must be provided. Parents may come to the school to administer medication.

ILLNESS

 

For your child’s protection and for the protection of others, children should be kept home when they have any of these symptoms:

Cold symptoms, coughing, sore throat, etc - many diseases in their first stages resemble the common cold.

Temperature - after an illness, a child should have a normal temperature for at least 24 hours prior to returning to school.

Upset stomach, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea - a child should be kept home until there has been neither vomiting nor diarrhea for at least 24 hours.

Undiagnosed rash or skin lesions, red or discharge from the eyes (pink eye), earache, or swollen glands. A child should be kept home with any of these symptoms until diagnosed by a doctor or until symptoms have disappeared.

Head lice. The school must be notified if a child has head lice as soon as possible. A child is to be kept home until appropriate treatment has been completed. Information will be sent home to the parents concerning appropriate procedures.

Hours of operation are 8:00am - 3:00pm Monday through Friday. Please do not drop children off prior to 8:00am and they must be picked up at 3:00pm. We do not provide staff to supervise children other than during the regular hours of operation. If there is a conflict with your work schedule, you must make your own arrangements to have your children dropped off and picked up within these hours.

Please telephone the school office before 8:30a.m.on the day of your child’s absence and explain the nature of his or her illness. The only acceptable excuses from school include illness, death in the family, and unavoidable detainment (i.e. car trouble). Certain pre-arranged absences may be excused. Doctor and dental appointments should be scheduled outside of school hours whenever possible. Please do not use “personal” as a reason for absence without first speaking to the administrator.

Please notify the school in advance if an absence is foreseeable. It is the responsibility of the parents and the student to make arrangements at least 2 weeks in advance with the teacher for any make-up work that must be completed due to absence. At the teacher’s discretion, work must be completed prior to the absence.

A student is considered tardy if he or she is late for the beginning of any class. Please be certain students are on the school site at least 10 minutes before their first class and no earlier than 30 minutes before school begins. Tardy notices will be issued to students and become part of the disciplinary procedure of Eagle School.

Written notification by the parents or guardian must be submitted to Eagle School for any withdrawal. Tuition will be calculated on a weekly basis to the date of the withdrawal. There will be a refund of any pre-paid tuition.

Parents are requested to stop by the office if they need to leave something for the student or if they need to pick up a student. Parents are not to go directly to the teacher if they need to pick up a student. Parents are not to go directly to the classroom, as this would interrupt the class.

Parents who want to visit classes are asked to contact the teacher at least 3 days in advance of the visit. Parents are welcome to visit the class under these guidelines.

The ES administrative staff must first approve a child wishing to visit a class at ES during class hours. A request for a child to visit ES should be made 3 days in advance of the visit when possible.

ES is not responsible for money sent to school with a student. Minimal amounts of money should be sent with ES students unless there is a special purpose for sending money.

Hot lunches are provided for a per cost basis. ES participates in a federally subsidized hot lunch program for those who qualify. Students may bring a sack lunch if they so choose. A student has access to a refrigerator and microwave. Meals needing to cook on a stove or in the oven (other than a microwave) should not be sent to school. Parents are not allowed to bring in ‘fast food’ as a substitute for the hot lunch program or sack lunches.

Proverbs 15:32 tells us, “He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.”

ES believes parents primarily instill discipline and the school supplements and reinforces these godly principles. At ES, discipline will be maintained that is consistent, fair, firm and loving. Our faculty believes their ministry is caring for and nurturing each child as well as giving instruction and discipline.

When follow-up disciplinary correction is needed, parents will be notified through a disciplinary memo form or other notification. The disciplinary memo form will include the name of the teacher, the offense committed by the student, and the disciplinary action taken by the school. Parents are asked to follow up with their child whenever they receive a disciplinary memo to be certain the infraction will not occur again.

Disciplinary memos are given when there is a repeated violation of a minor offense (class disruption, breaking building rules, inappropriate behavior on field trips, not completing work, chewing gum, etc.) or a single violation of a major offense (leaving school grounds without permission, fighting, profanity, stealing, lying, disrespect, or defiant behavior).

Disciplinary memos are progressive in nature. If a student receives a third disciplinary memo, the parents are requested to come in for a conference with the teacher to discuss some behavior modification areas. A spanking may be administered at this time or any other appropriate time. A fourth disciplinary memo will require the parents to meet with the teacher again and provide a written plan for change in the child’s behavior. A fifth disciplinary memo will require another parent/teacher conference. At this conference, the teacher will give a written statement to the parents of the needed changes in the child’s behavior or attitude in order to continue to be enrolled at ES. A sixth disciplinary memo will require the child to be expelled from ES until the staff of ES is satisfied of significant change in the attitude and/or behavior of the child.

ES teachers and the school administrator may also institute an in-school discipline.

In-school discipline may include detention time after school hours or during school hours, deprivation of cherished activities or other appropriate discipline, including spanking. In addition to a disciplinary memo, a student may be suspended from school for an indefinite period because of a serious code infraction. Suspension periods will end when the teachers and staff of ES are confident the student has significantly altered his or her attitude or behavior. See ES Policies and Procedures Manual for further details.

Proverbs 10:13 “but a rod is for the back of him who lacks judgment.”

Proverbs 13:24 “He who spares the rod hates his son.”

Proverbs 22:15 “folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline

will drive it far from him.”

Proverbs 23:13 “Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with

the rod, he will not die.”

Proverbs 29:15 “The rod of correction imparts wisdom.”

1. When a child becomes openly rebellious or commits an act of disobedience repeatedly or becomes physically aggressive with a teacher or other students, his actions may necessitate the use of the paddle (rod).

2. Minor offenses (such as chewing gum once or talking in class) are not to be disciplined with the paddle.

PROCEDURES

 

1. A teacher may administer a paddling or may refer the student to an administrator for paddling.

2. Prior to the paddling taking place, there is to be an effort made to contact the parent(s) and request that a parent comes in for the paddling. The parent should be offered the opportunity to execute the paddling themselves, but it must take place on the same day as the offense, on school premises and be witnessed by a teacher or administrator. Should the parent refuse to allow the paddling , the child will be expelled from Eagle School. There is always to be an adult witness to the paddling. The person in charge of the paddling is to document the occurrence in writing and place a copy in the student’s file.

3. The instrument used for paddling will be a flat board approved by Eagle School. A paddle is available at the church office or from Mr. Breininger.

4. Paddling will be from one to ten strokes on the behind(buttocks) of the student, depending on the severity of the offenses. The number of strokes is at the discretion of the staff member administering the discipline.

 

 

A high standard of acceptable behavior is essential at ES. Students will be expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will contribute to the learning environment.

Eagle School is a CLOSED CAMPUS.

Students are not allowed to leave the grounds without prior written permission from the parents.

Upon arriving by private vehicle, students are to immediately enter the

building and may not return to their vehicle until 3pm.

Students will enter and exit the building in an orderly fashion at all times. They will be expected to act in a safe and responsible way while moving about the school before, during, and after school hours. We will maintain a safe and respectful atmosphere at all times.

Gum chewing or the eating of hard candy is not allowed on the school grounds.

The personal and property rights of others are to be respected by all students at all times.

Fighting, hitting, tripping, shoving, and throwing of objects is not allowed.

Any student who destroys or defaces property will be subject to disciplinary action. The student’s parents will be responsible for repair and/or replacement costs.

A student discovered stealing will be subject to dismissal.

Hats, caps, or bandanas will not be worn inside the school building, except for special occasions.

Electronic Devices:

Students are not permitted to bring cell phones, walkmans, discmans, video games, CD’s or other items into the building or with them on school trips or activities including sporting events.

 

 

 

 

In the quest for God’s will for young people, we as parents, teachers, or pastors, have sought to surround each child with a standard of holiness shared by the family, church and school. Prayer, Bible study and dialogue are all a part of the process of coming to one mind concerning a standard of holiness for children. The standards and goals presented here are not a final statement, but only one step in the process. We ask you to test these standards against God’s Word and if they are found Biblical, that they be a standard upheld in the home as well as in the school. By establishing continuity between behavior at school and home, we hope to avoid hypocrisy that, too often, grows out of a double standard of conduct. We present these standards as a means of achieving the Biblical goals of holiness and purity.

A standard is a rule or measure to be carried out. It implies authoritative reaction to student action; In short, standards will be enforced. “Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness, quietness, and confidence forever.” Isaiah 32:16-17.

Obedience after one request and without daily reminding.

Titus 3:1-2 says, “Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, to malign no one, to be uncontentious, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.”

 

Hebrews 13:17 says, “Obey your leaders, and submit to them; for they keep watch over your souls, as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.”

 

1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 states, “ But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction, and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.”

 

Disagreements with the decisions of parents and teachers should be expressed with courtesy and without a challenge to their authority.

 

Colossians 3:12-14 says, “And so, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. And beyond all these things put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”

 

We uphold these attitudes as something that should be strived for by each student.

 

 

Name-calling, insulting, mocking, shunning, accusing, hitting and cruel teasing are not allowed.

 

Ephesians 5:4 states, “And there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse joking, which are not fitting, but rather give thanks.”

 

2 Timothy 2:16 states, “But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness.”

 

4. Courtesy.

Both the school and home should teach a code of manners that include:

Saying, “Please,” “Thank you,” and “You’re welcome.”

Listening when others speak.

Not interrupting.

Requesting and not demanding.

Opening doors, general helpfulness.

Respecting other’s property.

Saying, “Hello” and “Good-bye,” and responding to each others' greetings.

Responsible care of their property.

 

Romans 12:9-10 says, “Let your love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor.”

 

Philippians 2:3-4 says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility of mind, let each of you regard one another as more important than himself; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

 

Pouting, grumbling and verbal or physical outbursts of anger should not be indulged in.

 

2 Timothy 1:7 says, “ For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power, of love, and of self-discipline.”

 

2 Timothy 1:5-6 says, “Now for this reason also, apply all diligence; in your faith, supply moral excellence; and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness.”

 

There will be no physical contact between boys and girls, such as holding hands, hugging, kissing, etc. Any emotional or romantic relationship between boys and girls is discouraged.

 

 

 

A goal is an aim or purpose to be achieved. We believe it is best achieved by self-motivation through the perfect example of Christ. The results will be the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-24 states, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” It is with prayerful consideration we state the following goals for students of Eagle School:

Obedience from the heart characterized by obedience after the first request and the absence of grumbling or complaining.

 

Psalm 119:34 states, “Give me understanding, that I may observe your law and keep it with all my heart.”

 

Respect for authority and one another characterized by courtesy and thoughtfulness in speech and action.

 

Romans 13:2 says, “Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed God will receive condemnation upon themselves.”

 

Kindness expressed through forgiveness, gentleness, and acceptance of one another.

 

Ephesians 4:32 says, “Be ye kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.”

 

Self-control and discipline in external behavior and internal attitude.

 

1 Thessalonians 5:8 says, “But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breast plate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.”

 

Trustworthiness that results in righteousness unto God apart from the fear of punishment or the disapproval of teachers or parents. This is holiness, when only God will know.

 

Proverbs 16:6 says, “By loving kindness and truth iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord one keeps away from evil.”

 

 

 

 

 

Diligence manifested in a pursuit of excellence and the completion of work.

 

Colossians 3:23-24 says, “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men; knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Jesus Christ whom you serve.”

 

Luke 8:15 says, “And the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in a honest and good heart and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.”

 

Gratitude toward God and others, being thankful and not demanding or expecting something that is not earned.

 

Colossians 3:17 says, “And whatever you do in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”

 

I Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything, give thanks, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

 

Consistency is the goal for both the home training and the classroom setting. Parents should encourage and implement the same standards for children at home in the training and educational process as will be expected in the classroom. Children will also notice a consistency at ES in what is written and what implemented.

 

 

 

Attendance in the Eagle School Friday enrichment program is required unless the student is enrolled in a homeschool program.

In order to receive a diploma upon graduation from high school, a student must meet the following standards for the cumulative high school performance:

Achieve at least 25 classroom credits.

Complete 4 credits in English.

Complete 3 credits in Math.

Complete 3 credits in Science.

Complete 3 credits in Social Studies.

Complete 6 core elective credits

Complete 6 general elective credits.

Pay all fees.

Not missed more than 20 days excused absences in any given year unless provision for make-up work has been made.

These requirements are effective as of the 2004-2005 school year.

 

 

 

DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING SCHOOL

 

Beginning with the 2004-2005 school year, and continuing thereafter, Eagle High School will accept a Discipleship Training School offered by Youth With A Mission for credit toward the graduation requirements for Eagle High School. The following provisions are attached to this offering:

1. The Eagle High School student must have completed four English credits, three Math credits, two Science credits, and three Social Studies credits in addition to the DTS credits in order to graduate.

2. The Eagle High School student may take only one semester away from Eagle High School in order to complete the DTS work.

3. The Eagle High School student will receive a total of one Foreign Language credit if the DTS is held in a country where the first language is not English.

4. An Eagle High School student will receive a total of three credits for cross-cultural studies that will be applied toward graduation requirements of Eagle High School in addition to the one credit for Foreign Language.

5. The Eagle High School student must be in good academic standing, as defined by the athletic eligibility code, in order to participate in this program.

6. The Eagle High School student must have the approval of the parents and the recommendation of at least one Eagle High School teacher, in order to participate in this program.

 

The following guidelines will be in effect for all students desiring to take time off school for a short-term mission trip:

1. The moral character of the student must have demonstrated qualities necessary for that student to be a good Christian representation. Moral character includes such qualities as truthfulness, diligent work habits, integrity, honesty, respect for authority, and self-control. Such moral characteristics must be evident within the school classroom as well as outside the school setting.

2. The student must have demonstrated clearly a pursuit of God. This pursuit must be evident through a genuine Christian lifestyle, a commitment to the authority of Scriptures, and submission to the commands of Christ.

3. The student must demonstrate good academic standing. Good academic standing requires a student to have no less than a C grade in any class.

4. The student must be in good standing with teachers. This would require teachers to give a good recommendation for the student to participate in a short-term mission project. There must not be a recent history of rebellion against authority.

5. The student must obtain written parental permission.

6. The student must make up all schoolwork that will be missed during the short-term mission trip, in advance of leaving on the trip.

 

 

 

The introduction of athletic teams at Eagle School is an important event. It is one that must be kept in perspective. Team sports are to be part of the total curriculum and not an end unto themselves. Students should realize it is not primarily about winning, losing, scoring the most points or being the hero. It is, however, about teamwork, integrity, effort, commitment, obedience, rising to the occasion, being humbled, and setting a good example for those around us.

Our goal is to see sports as a part of the total academic and spiritual program at Eagle School. Both are means whereby students can prepare themselves to be responsible, productive citizens wherever God chooses to place them in this needy world. Team sports should develop the idea of interdependence and always needing to work with others. We desire to see these same principles applied to the rest of the students’ life. In the good times and in the bad, we always have a helper in our Lord and Savior.
